Actually, Jiang Che had already woken up.
With his current strength, he could sense a mosquito flapping its wings ten meters away, let alone the young lady beside him.
【What a hypocritical jerk! Taking advantage of me while I was drunk, wait until I go back and tell my parents, I’ll force you into marriage... hehe!】
Jiang Che: “......”
Seems like this Miss Ye isn’t so bad after all!
But... you want to force me into marriage?
What kind of joke is that!
Jiang Che decided not to pretend to be asleep anymore and slowly opened his eyes.
......
Ye Mengyao was staring at Jiang Che’s profile, constantly fantasizing in her mind.
When she noticed that Jiang Che had woken up, she panicked.
She didn’t remember anything from last night.
Jiang Che frowned as if he had a headache, rubbed his head, and then ‘accidentally’ glanced at the girl beside him.
His expression changed from stunned to shocked, disbelief, and finally to a look of disdain.
“You——”
Undoubtedly, Jiang Che’s acting skills were top-notch; even the Oscars would have to award him a little golden statue personally.
Wanting him to actively pursue Ye Mengyao?
Impossible, you’d have to chase me... maybe then I could reluctantly accept you.
Ye Mengyao naturally noticed Jiang Che’s gaze and her heart skipped a beat.
But she decided to take the initiative!
Ye Mengyao racked her brains, recalling the lines from those domineering CEO novels she had read before, where the soft and cute female lead loses her innocence to the domineering CEO.
She spoke hesitantly.
“Jiang Che, I... you don’t have to take responsibility for me.”
Jiang Che almost laughed; he hadn’t planned to take responsibility for her anyway, right?
You’re the one who should take responsibility for me!
“Heh... take responsibility for you? What are you thinking?” Jiang Che glanced at her coldly and then took out his phone.
Last night, at the crucial moment, a system task was triggered, offering three villainous choices!
Choice One: Take a photo of Ye Mengyao to prevent future blackmail. Reward: 10 years of internal energy.
【Choice Two: You have a pair of dexterous hands. Reward: Divine Right Hand】
【Choice Three: Miss Ye, I’m sorry. Reward: SSS-level piano skills】
He didn’t take a full-body shot, only capturing Ye Mengyao’s stunning face.
Jiang Che didn’t plan to take a full-body shot; after all, phones aren’t 100% secure, and the incident involving Brother Guan Xi is still fresh in his memory.
Besides, Ye Mengyao is technically his woman now, and Jiang Che isn’t the type to share his woman’s photos with others.
For someone like Ye Mengyao, an arrogant young lady, a little gesture like this is enough; he’s not going to ruin her.
Jiang Che opened the video on his phone and handed it to Ye Mengyao, still wearing a cold expression.
“Take a look yourself and see what happened last night!”
Ye Mengyao was stunned, blinking her big eyes as she watched herself on the phone.
She couldn’t believe it!!!
【Impossible! That can’t be me!】
Ye Mengyao was on the verge of breaking down.
It took her a good two or three minutes to regain her composure, her lips tightly pressed together, her mind completely blank.
“Jiang Che, I’ll take responsibility for you.”
The girl looked serious, her eyes glancing at Jiang Che’s upper body.
Then she nervously lowered her head.
Jiang Che put away his phone, his expression calm, and picked up his white shirt from the bedside. “You don’t need to take responsibility for me...”
Ye Mengyao froze, desperately holding back her tears.
【Jiang Che... can’t you forgive me?】
Stupid Jiang Che, woo woo woo~~~
The innocent girl’s emotions were on the brink of collapse, but the more she felt this way... the deeper her obsession with Jiang Che became.
Does... does that mean you find me so repulsive?
At this thought, Ye Mengyao’s not-so-bright mind began to slowly work.
No, if Jiang Che didn’t like me, he could have easily refused me yesterday, after all, it’s simple for a man to reject a girl, just slam the door and leave, right?
So Jiang Che must still like me!
Ye Mengyao seemed to grasp a lifeline, becoming even more certain of her thoughts, and even a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She now had only one advantage!
(edited)
Jiang Che looked at Ye Mengyao’s radiant smile and understood.
This Miss Ye... is probably going to go dark.
Monk Tripitaka, you say you’re empty of the four desires, yet you keep your eyes tightly shut. If you opened your eyes and looked at me, I don’t believe you’d see nothing?

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
